The indie game Vampire Survivors has become one of the most popular hits of 2022! This roguelike is present in almost every top and Best Game of the Year nomination. Phil Spencer professed his love for Vampire Survivors, who couldn't tear himself away from it and played over two hundred hours in a short time!

Here's What We Know

The developer Luca Galante, better known as poncle, gave an interview to IGN, in which he admitted that he still does not understand the reason for the enormous success of his game.

I have no idea, and it's really scary!

According to Luca Galante's confession, after the release of Vampire Survivors, he was not interested in sales figures, but focused solely on improving the game, and this approach brought the result.

He expressed the hope that:

Vampire Survivors will inspire more indie developers to keep working on their projects.
I want as many games like Celeste, Undertale, Powerwash Simulator, Wandersong, and A Short Hike to get the attention they deserve.

Vampire Survivors is available on PC, Xbox and mobile devices.
